FEEDBACK 11:24

The Dead do a normal first set(Girl>Love) then decide and announce to take their setbreak.
Immediately returning to the stage- apparently
there is a time restriction or curfue Garcia says instead of
taking their break they will play instead - since they
only have about 15 minutes left. Rather than pissing away
15 minutes, the Dead deliver one of the greatest performances EVER!! (After which, to a smattering of
applause, a female takes the mic and says "allright
lets hear it for the Grateful Head." Those 15 minutes encompass the Other One suite - and in my
opinion this is the best version I have ever heard played -
like the Unknown '68 Pre-Caution Jam, and the China Cat from d1 -
Garcia's playing is at a speed & articulation that I feel is his best.
I know statements like these are inherently stupid however i have heard quite a bit of Dead and feel
quite confident making these statements. Although 5.2.70 and
3.1.69 are close this version might be my favorite.
